SACRAMENTO, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Peja Stojakovic scored 36 points Sunday night to lead Sacramento to a 107-102 win over the Phoenix Suns.
Anthony Peeler made a clutch tip shot in the final minute as the Kings handed the Suns their sixth straight loss.
Phoenix had a 92-79 lead after the third quarter but managed just 10 points in the fourth. The Kings scored 21 of the first 27 points in the period, including the first eight, and held on for their seventh straight home win over the Suns.
Phoenix avoided matching the lowest scoring quarter in franchise history when Stephon Marbury, who made just 2-of-11 shots in the second half, made a meaningless layup in the final seconds.
Sacramento took the lead for good at 100-98 on a jumper by Stojakovic with 4:16 remaining. He added a runner 1:28 later.
Sacramento was 29-of-31 from the free throw line.
Shawn Marion had 32 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists for Phoenix, which fell to 0-3 under new coach Mike D'Antoni.
